Andrew Johnson Poet Rhyme

To Father From Son

All you want in this life
Is for me to do my best
And to be able to drink to ‘The World’s Best Son’
Before you are later laid to rest

But it is hard most times for me to
Do exactly as you dream
Though it does not mean I do not care
Nor play for the opposite team

You have shown me things in life
That I thought were so benign
When in reality it was truly real
And trouble could have been mine

Arguments lost and arguments won
About the most personal things
When you were only giving strong advice
I thought of it as in a boxing ring

You are the closest friend I have
And just between us, father and son
I love you and will never falter
